I thoroughly enjoyed Chicken of the Sea's Canned Baby Clams so it is reasonable that I was looking forward to cracking open this can to see what waited inside. Inside was salmon fillets that were kept in an aseptic environment, just waiting for me to pull them out. Was I disappointed or overjoyed upon feasting on the contents inside this can? Did my cat enjoy it? Dear reader, read on.

After opening the can there was a nice, deep earthy smell. The smell was not fishy, but reminiscent of a good quality can of tuna packed in water. Firm fillets of salmon were packed generously inside of the can, so much so that the meat retained the curves of the can when removed. The fact that they were packed in water makes the meat a bit firmer and more crumbly than fresh salmon.

The taste and smell are excellent.The bones will be noticeable in a fish this large, but removing the spinal cord can remedy this at the cost of some calcium. The salmon kept its pinkish hue through the canning process so the presentation is very good. My cat absolutely loved eating this, he couldn't get enough!

This is a very good product that I will definitely buy again if on sale. Chicken of the Sea's Pink Salmon Traditional style has earnedfive cylinders of canned salmon out of five.
